Let's see some pic's of your SxS's & O/U's

A 1912 Fox Sterlingworth. The old gal has seen some miles and was in need of some TLC. Gave the internals a well deserved cleaning, put on a Limbsaver recoil pad (which looks bigger in the pic then in person), sharpened up the checkering and refinished the wood. Will be a solid shooter. (30" barrels, extractors auto safety, 14 1/2" LOP)

For all the beautiful posts that photobucket screwed us from seeing anymore in this awesome thread there is still hope if the owners did not delete their folder contents. Here is a copy/paste from another forum:
If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the right side of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions. Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again.
Worked for me just tickity-boo.
 
Just wow. A percussion Purdey. Just envious. I would love to turn up at one of our BP Trap shoots with one of these.
Nice to see. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Patrick. Yes, certainly will bring this one - along with a couple other vintage British gems presently in rehab. Maybe does not lend itself well to the group size but a venue that offers sporting clays would be fun.

Another English percussion

Here's another old timer that I recently acquired and some of you may have seen. She's a 10 bore with 32" barrels sporting gold inlay and platinum blow out plugs. It actually balances very well and does not feel heavy when shouldering. I'll have to work up some loads.

Thanks. Yes, I'm putting it at circa 1867-1870. I have a few other Clabroughs. I've seen them marked JP Clabrough, Jp Clabrough & Bros and Clabrough & Johnstone but this is the first one I have come across marked Clabrough Bros (without the JP). This gun has very similar engraving to my early Clabrough top lever opener.
 
Beautiful gun Oberndorf. What fun that would be in the blind. CCH looks lovely. Recent job or did you find it like that?

With any luck I may have something new to show off in a couple months.
